Goldie’s AP® Statistics UNIT 4 CURRICULUM | Inference for Means | NEW 2026 CED

AP Statistics Unit 4 – Inference for Quantitative Data: Means

Complete Unit Curriculum

 

This unit covers Inference for Quantitative Data: Means in AP® Statistics and is fully aligned to the 2026–27 AP® Statistics CED. Students begin by exploring the sampling distribution of sample means and learning how the Central Limit Theorem supports inference for population means. They then construct and interpret confidence intervals and perform hypothesis tests for a single population mean, matched pairs, and the difference between two population means.

 

Throughout the unit, students learn to identify the appropriate inference procedure, verify required conditions, interpret p-values and confidence intervals, and communicate conclusions in context, all within the context of inference for means.

 

Whether you're a first-time AP® Statistics teacher or looking to streamline your prep with high-quality, editable resources, this bundle is designed to make planning, instruction, and assessment easier and more effective.

 

This product is a .zip folder with the following items:

✅ 8 complete sets of student-guided notes

✅ Editable PowerPoint slides (videos for each lesson arriving this year)

✅ 8 sets of homework problems and multiple review assignments

✅ 3 assessments: one quiz and two unit tests (with grading rubrics)

✅ 6 engaging activities and projects aligned to Unit 4 skills

✅ A Unit 4 TI-84 Calculator Commands Reference Sheet

✅ A class summary lesson for Unit 4 with a comprehensive test review

✅ Suggested pacing guide for Unit 4

 

Key Features:

• 100% editable in Word format -- make it fit your classroom style
